The Cardinals worked the phones like thieves and earned a C-. The tape said wait; the Cardinals did not. Tyreem Powell went at the 16th pick, a good 327 picks before the board was ready.
The Royals steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Tyreem Powell
In pick No. 16 they get the heartbeat of the defense, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick47
Rnd2
Marcus Dumervil
Marcus Dumervil in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at Round 4, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115
Rnd4
Omari Thomas
Omari Thomas at the 115th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jacory Croskey-Merritt
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jacory Croskey-Merritt in slot 225, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
